Kuaishou (北京快手科技有限公司) was registered in Beijing in March 2015 and operates the Kuaishou short-video and livestreaming app; its listed parent is Kuaishou Technology (HKEX: 1024).

As the platform, it hosts digital-human livestreams and sets the rules for them. In mid-2024 Kuaishou’s e-commerce business said livestream rooms using Kuaishou’s own Nüwa (女娲) digital humans would no longer receive extra e-commerce traffic, and that recorded content generated with outside AIGC digital-human tools would be handled under its rules for recorded broadcasts. The company files the app’s generative-media algorithms with the Cyberspace Administration of China, among them the Kuaishou short-video generative synthesis algorithm (快手短视频生成合成算法) (网信算备110108413760701220011号) in the first national list of filed deep-synthesis algorithms.

Kuaishou’s digital-human work sits in other group companies: Beijing Dajia Internet holds the group’s digital-human and avatar patents; Kuaishou Advertising runs Nüwa (女娲), the digital-human livestream platform for advertisers; and StreamLake (北京溪流湖科技有限公司) offers digital-human production to businesses, including the Kuaishou Virtual Studio (KVS) tool and the Mengniu virtual employee Naisi.
